So in about two weeks I'm moving to Denton, TX. I'm going to go to UNT in the fall, and am going to live there with some friends during the summer.

Now, I do know some people that live there already and they do play music. I've been in a band with a few of them before they moved there and really enjoyed it. However, that was about 1 and a half years ago and I've improved a lot since then and changed my style a WHOLE lot.

So, I'd like to know a good way to find new musicians to play with. Denton is a big music town, so it won't be hard. But whats the best way to go about it? How about making sure the people I find are good at what they do?

How about musician classifieds or listings at local music stores. Around here there are musician classifieds on the wall at a couple of music shops.

Find the established jams and go from there.

UNT = University of North Texas, home of one of the/if not the best jazz programs in the country? I thought just going there would be a way to have instant respect in the gigging community.

Musicians classifieds, postings at local shops, and maybe craigs list are the ways that i can think of. When in doubt-go to different places where live music is played and talk to the people who play. I had cards made for ths very thing.

take it easy.
